Loading Paper
You can print documents and photos on a variety of paper types and sizes. For 
details, see page 20.
1. Open the paper support and pull up the extensions. 
2. Open the output tray, pull out the extensions, and raise the paper stopper.
Note: 
If you’re using legal-size paper, don’t raise the paper stopper.
3. Squeeze the edge guide as you slide it all the way to the left.
 
						

							Loading Paper19 4. Load paper against the right edge and behind the tab with the glossy or 
printable side face up. (Load letterhead or pre-printed paper top edge first.)
You can load up to 120 sheets of letter- or A4-size plain paper, 80 sheets of 
matte, or 20 sheets of photo paper. Load other papers one sheet at a time. See 
your online User’s Guide for more information.
Note: 
Don’t load paper with holes punched in it.
The type of paper you choose affects the way your printout looks. If you are just 
making a copy or printing a rough draft, plain paper is fine. However, for the best 
results, you’ll want to use one of Epson’s special ink jet papers designed for your 
printer. For example, your photos will look great printed on Epson Ultra Premium 
Photo Paper Glossy (see page 20 for more information).
5. Squeeze the edge guide and slide it against the paper, but not too tightly. 
Note: 
For instructions on loading envelopes, see your online User’s Guide.
Always load paper short edge 
first, don’t load it sideways.
